I'm So Proud Of My Hubby...

We were eating breakfast at McDonald's this morning. I was eating the fruit and yogurt parfait. Hubby was eating a Mcgriddle sandwich. I offered him some of my parfait on my spoon and he said "I just ate that sandwich" and I was like "so, just try this, it's yummy" and he said "But I just ate that sandwich" and I proceeded to stick my spoon in his mouth and right then I realized that he was worried about cross contamination. I was so happy that he thought of that right away, even before me. I went and got a new spoon, of course. :D Yay, hubby!

Aw! Mine is like that too, isn't it nice to be able to relax and know that he is looking out for you too?

We went to a dart thing of his at a bar not too long ago, and I went to the bathroom right away when we got there. He had a bottled soda sitting on the bar for me and said "I hope this kind is ok, I remember you saying that this brand was gluten-free and they didn't have anything else in a bottle or can. I didn't want to get you a fountain soda, can you imagine how contaminated that thing must be (gives a dirty look at the sprayer-thing)?" That was so cute I almost died.

It does make me feel really good to know he is listening to all the things I tell him about this disease. It shows me that he really does care. :)

You'll see him again, Jen. Just on a temporary hiatus while I show off my new doggy. Brown's still my baby.

      Enegy level extremely low

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!

      Although I disagree with interjecting the element of dermatitis herpetiformis since this is not a real issue for the OP, I think Rogo72 gives good advice about how to navigate social situations as a celiac when finding yourself in unsympathetic company. It requires developing somewhat of a tuff skin and holding your ground in order to be safe. The psychology of these situations is that family and friends try to make you as the celiac feel that you have a mental problem rather than a medical one. The fact is, they are the ones with the mental problem (ignorance and arrogance). It helps to avoid the brow beatdown to reframe it in that sense. But at the same time you must avoid the temptation to develop bitterness toward them which will destroy relationships. Rise above that and keep this one issue in its place so that it doesn't commandeer the whole of the relationships involved. As I mentioned above, I'm sure we can all remember times when we misjudged others because we were ignorant of the facts. One thing that sometimes happens in the celiac social experience is when some of those who were skeptical and critical of a celiac friend or family member find out they themselves have celiac disease. Boy, how that can change their attitude! And keep in mind, some studies have shown that almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease. So, @sillyyak52, you may have the last laugh!

      Hey SicilyGirl, I feel your pain, I am 51 and was diagnosed in August with Celiac and actually had to have iron transfusions because my iron was so low. I never had energy, going to one store wiped me out, it was horrible. Then the weirdest thing happened two weeks ago, I realized I had energy when I was talking on a phone and moving heavy Christmas boxes around like they were nothing, and then I ran off to make dinner. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and give yourself some grace.
